Design for Manufacturability

At each successive step of the product development process, the cost of rectifying a problem increases tenfold. You certainly wouldn’t want to find that your product has an unacceptable first-pass yield after you have handed it off to manufacturing. It is better to find and fix DFM issues as part of the design phase or at least in the proto stage. By applying DFM rules at the beginning we can identify design violations, rate those violations, and optimize the design. We then review each violation and help you assess which violations must be corrected and which ones we can live with. In an ideal world, all issues will be identified and corrected. We don’t live in an ideal world and sometimes it is not practical. In those cases, wouldn’t it be helpful to locate, identify, assess and quantify the risks ahead of time.
